Which is the best infertility treatment IVF or IUI?

ImageIntrauterine insemination (IUI) and in vitro fertilization (IVF) are the two most prevalent infertility therapies according to the specialist of the Best infertility treatment clinic in Greater Noida. However, these therapies are very different. This blog will explain the differences between IUI and IVF, including the method, drugs, prices, success rates, and adverse effects.

IUI, also known as “artificial insemination,” is a non-surgical, outpatient treatment in which sperm from a male partner or sperm donor is inserted directly into the uterus of a female patient. IUI improves a patient's chances of conception by allowing sperm to mature and ensuring insemination occurs at the time of ovulation—but it's less effective, less intrusive, and less costly than IVF.

IVF is a technique in which eggs from a female patient's ovaries are surgically extracted and fertilized in a laboratory with sperm from a male spouse or sperm donor to make embryos. (“In vitro” refers to the procedure of fertilizing an egg in a laboratory dish and is Latin for “in the glass.”) The resultant embryo(s) are then returned to the uterus in the hopes of attaining pregnancy.

Because it allows surgeons to bypass the fallopian tubes, this treatment is a suitable option for individuals who have clogged, damaged, or nonexistent fallopian tubes. It also takes just one sperm cell for each egg, making successful fertilization possible even in the most severe cases of male infertility. In general, IVF is the most effective and successful therapy for all types of infertility, including male infertility.

Both IUI and IVF cycles last roughly two weeks, however, IVF is more complicated than IUI. Let us go through them again.

MEDICATED VS. UNMEDICATED IUI- Some IUI cycles are performed without the use of drugs. This may be acceptable for people who do not have reproductive concerns and are utilizing donor sperm, as well as hetero couples where the female spouse does not have ovulation problems. A cycle that is not medicated requires less monitoring but may be less successful.

Depending on your diagnosis, your doctor may advise you to undergo an IUI cycle that involves the use of drugs to induce ovulation. This procedure is frequently used by women who are having problems ovulating on their own (perhaps owing to PCOS) or who wish to boost their chances of getting pregnant in a single cycle. An IUI cycle may include the use of oral drugs such as Clomid or letrozole, as well as the sort of injectable hormone drugs (known as gonadotropins) that are normally connected with IVF.

IUI vs. IVF

The key distinction between IUI and IVF is the number of eggs generated by the female and the location of fertilization.

  • A woman is only meant to produce one or two eggs with an IUI. Sperm are implanted into the uterus, which provides the sperm an advantage, although natural fertilization is still required.

  • In IVF, a woman is given additional drugs to produce a large number of eggs. In an ideal world, they would produce roughly 15 mature eggs. The eggs are retrieved from the ovaries, fertilized and developed in a laboratory for days, and then implanted as an early-stage embryo into the uterus. While this may appear to be a little change, it leads to a significant number of notable variances.

The choice to use IUI or IVF is frequently decided in partnership with the patient(s) and their doctor. The patients' diagnosis, age, money, insurance coverage, and personal preferences may all play a role in the decision.

A visit with a Gynaecologist & IVF specialist, Dr. Sonali Gupta is the best method to determine which therapy is best for you—IUI or IVF.  Please contact us if you have any further query.
